The problem lies in that the tax rate changes depening on how you make

system.


Agreed.

Not really. It's just a mainstream sense of what's fair.
I suppose, with the tremendous shift to the right these last
few years, "fair" appears to be a somewhat liberal concept.




That would be one way to try to fix Social Security long-term, but the
same angry voters won't hear of it.


Ever consider why those voters are angry? Could it be that they react to
basic unfairness, despite not being privy to such wealth?

The basic unfairness of what? A plan to keep grandmothers
from starving on street corners?





... You seem to be
from the "if it doesn't affect me, then stick it too 'em" school of
"ethics."


???? Are you referring to my lack of sympathy for people who
expect Social Security to support them in luxury? I thought
that was a rather conservative (certainly it's fiscal
conservatism in action).

But hey, you should feel GREAT! After years and years of
calling me a liberal, for absolutely no reason other than
that I can logical & factual support for my statements & you
can't, I have now actually said something LIBERAL!

LIBERAL LIBERAL LIBERAL!!!!

Better go shout it from a few roof tops, Max!
